In the spirit of adventure and having new experiences together, the Missus and I rolled the dice on some informal recomendations and an ad from the back of Surfer Magazine for a 'Private Surf Island' off the coast of Panama. Suffice to say - we had a great, diverse crew on the island, scored some of the best - and longest waves - I have ever ridden and already have the island booked for next year. This is the DL from Morro Negrito - 2006.

So, we live at 8,040 feet. We commute via bike some 17 - odd miles and 3,200 feet of vertical down to Boulder, most days. On the other days, we are running, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, drinking beer in the meadows and ridges around the house. The natural environment is something we are immersed in every day. This album is an attempt at reflecting on and capturing some of the beauty that we are immersed in every day. After a decade and a half of this - I am just getting warmed up and feel like a tourist seeing it for the first time every day.
All these photos are in the hood - in the yard. It's a hellofa yard.

Being that we live at 8,040 feet, weather, and snow are both a huge part of life. We shovel it, ride through it, ride on it, pray for it, curse it. We love it. Whether it's burying the ramp, blowing into hug lip launches at Edlora or carrying us over a cornice in some distant part of the state - it is a huge part of our constitution.

Where there's a will.......

There is usually a way. Sometimes, serendipity plays a HUGE role and you just happen upon the thing that will take you to the other thing that comes out in just the right place. Such was the serendipitous nature of yesterday. So, today - there was nothing left to do but ride it. Wow. New trail in mid-November. Whatta way to put the season to sleep! Looks like a Pugsley type riding experience this weekend. Tomorrow could be the last dry trail roll of the year....we will make sure and make it count.
